Illustrated below are nine parking choices that may earn you a citation:
| Blocking the sidewalk: the sidewalk is not part of your driveway. |  |
 |
Blocking a driveway: it doesn’t matter if it’s your own driveway. |
| Less than 15 feet from the hydrant: even if there is no red curb. |  |
 |
Not parallel to curb: unless the zone is marked with lines |
| On the front lawn: Sure, it’s private property, but it’s still illegal. |  |
 |
Wrong side of the street: unless it’s a one-way street. |
| Street cleaning restriction: even after the sweeper has passed. |  |
 |
Handicap space: if you are not handicapped…shame on you! |
| Standing in a red zone: it doesn’t matter if you are inside your vehicle with the engine running—a red zone prohibits stopping, standing, or parking. |  |
